I love a good cookbook, but Homemade with Love is a great cookbook!

My family are eaters and I'm always on the lookout for great family recipes and when I got the opportunity to review Jennifer Perillo's Homemade with Love of course I got excited!

including creating the perfect pantry—from the dry goods you should
always try to have on hand, to what to stock in your fridge and
freezer. From there she covers the everyday basics, offering
shortcuts with homemade baking mixes to use as the base for all the
yummy treats you’ll want to make for the family—think Clementine
& Pistachio Crumb Muffins
– as well as other homemade necessities like nut butters, ricotta,
chicken stock, marinara and yogurt.
